Info on Kindle for Schools needed!

jon.marck · 04-03-2017, 06:24 AM

Hello, I work for a school and was wondering what our options were for using Kindles to access multiple copies of a book.

We have about 15 Kindles that are ready to be linked to an account. Can we access the same textbook on all? I heard there was a limit of 6.

If there is a limit of 6 to a single book, can we buy multiple copies of the book to spread it across all 15 of our Kindles?

Also, is there a special account that schools can make that will give us more options?

Thanks for the info. I'm brand new to e-readers!

Here's some info from Amazon's site about Kindle Education: https://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.ht...cId=1000598521

And Whispercast: https://whispercast.amazon.com/

Hope this helps.

It depends on the book. On the Amazon page, scroll down. Some have unlimited usage.

There is also a "Textbook" specific Amazon service/feature/line of books (I am not sure what is best to call it).
That probably has the copy limit dealt with for a textbook situation.
